> Abstract Talk #2:

Gal is a digital product designer originally from Israel and currently working and living in Amsterdam. She is a full-stack product designer, with a background in visual communication combined with design thinking and UX methodologies. Gal works on all stages of product design, from UX research and strategy to interaction design and UI designs.

At Usabilla, she works as a product designer in a multidisciplinary scrum team and also leads concept teams. She is future thinking in communication around design throughout the company.

As designers, our goal is to come up with the best user experiences possible, now and in the future. Therefore we might not care about ROI, at least not in the traditional sense. We are trained to think with empathy and spend time listening to our users, so how do we measure our success and justify the investment to our stakeholders? How do we find time between the day-to-day issues and current development work to do strategic thinking and innovation? We all know that companies that don’t innovate and don’t listen to their users don’t survive, but it is the UXer’s job to make sure we do so.
